Sand Bucket
Thanks to Sugarshack for sharing her techniques. This is two 6 inch round cakes and half of a 7 inch round cake carved into a bucket shape. It started out much taller but I had a hard time putting the fondant on without it falling. So it's a little over 6 inches tall. The shovel is all gumpaste, candy crabs and shells. Handle is all gumpaste.

Mini Pie Cupcakes
Made for my daughters "Pi day" at school, it's for math. I will make 30 of them tomorrow. These were practice. Our local Food Lion donated the Keebler Graham Cracker mini pie tins and I just took out the graham crackers and baked the cakes in them. I got idea from robinscakes here on CC. Thank you Robinscakes for letting me borrow your cute idea, the kids will be SO HAPPY! All made from buttercream, I used a tip 103 for the pie shell and a tip 47 for the woven crusts.

Basketball And Nike Tennis Shoe
Fondant covered board, marked with ruler and then antiqued with brown color and water. Tennis shoe is all edible, carved cake, fondant. Basket ball is also carved and then I copied from a real basketball and made the fondant lines (with my clay gun, flat lines) and filled in with tip 3 stars and then smashed them down lightly with a bumpy paper towel. The shoe was copied from my son's shoe. Ball and shoe are life size, shoe would be a VERY large mans shoe! Whistle is all fondant.

Sweet 16 Beach Theme Cake
Got this idea from another CCer. Sweet 16 girl LOVED the cake. I printed a real adirondack chair pattern from the internet and just shrunk it down, so the chair is made from fondant/gp. Girl is all fondant, seashells and crabs are chocolates with luster dust. Sand is granulated brown sugar. Fun cake to do!
